Life or
death?
It all seems
to be the same for Grace…
Some of us
have been there before -- falling for the hot, popular jock who just so happens
to be dating the hot, popular girl in school.
Your
snarky-but-always-right bestie insists you make a move, but you’re not so much
into putting yourself out there.
Then it
happens, and suddenly you find yourself eating a cat on your neighbor’s
porch.
No? Never
happened to you?
Well, Grace
Watkins can’t say the same. Her hunger is growing with each day that passes and
her urges are getting harder to control.
No one can
explain why her body is changing, except one man.

My Review:
Grace is your typical teenager who wants the same things as
every other teenager to be popular and have a boyfriend well maybe not exactly.
Well she definitely doesn’t want to be popular but she would like it if she
were not on some people’s radar all the time. Like that was their life’s only
objective was to pick on Grace. She walks the halls of school trying to be
invisible hoping no one will notice her but that hardly ever happens.
Oh and she wants a boyfriend alright and she knows exactly who
and that is the hot, popular jock Tristen Miles but there is just one problem
and that is Tristen just happens to be with the popular girl and the one person
that Grace is always trying to avoid. But this is only a minor thing for Grace.
She wants Tristen and is determined to have him. She is a woman with a plan and
that plan comes into effect after Tristen ask her to tutor him and she mentions
her plans with her best friend Phoebe to go haunted house hoping on Halloween. Halloween
is Grace and Phoebe’s favorite holiday.
Something is wrong with Grace she doesn’t know what it is
and her mother is not talking. Grace is always hungry and can eat you out of
house and home as they say. Grace’s mother is a nurse but Grace thinks she
missed her calling and should have been a chef. Her mother always makes sure
that Grace has food to eat. Breakfast, lunch, dinner and always plenty of
snacks. Grace has been doing great with dealing with her hunger all these years
but something is changing within Grace is starting to get hungry sooner and it
takes more to fill her up.
Her body is also going through some changes as well. Grace
knows something is wrong with her and is determined to find out what it is and
her mother is going to talk. She makes this decision after something goes
terribly wrong on Halloween night. Grace does something she never thought she
was capable of doing. Now her life is changed forever and she has lost
something very close and dear to heart. She has hurt someone that she never
wanted to hurt. Grace has become something that she never wanted to be.
Can she
get the help that she needs to make her better? Will she find the answers she
needs? Will she ever be able to live a normal life? What is a normal life for
Grace? Will her plans work out for getting the most popular guy in school? Pick
up your copy today to find out. You won’t regret it.
Turning Grace is unlike
anything I have read before. I love the world that the author created for Grace
and all the changes that was going on in her body and the way Grace dealt with
them. I liked the way Grace just dealt with life itself. I can’t wait to see
what roads Grace takes us on next. I am anxiously awaiting the next book in The
Turning Series.
